Uplands Road Tavern doesn't work - boring!

[Brendan]

Why can't it be called the 'urt?

[stingray]

One more vote for The Actress.

envisaging a montage of pictures on the wall?

[Jah Lush]

Aren't they all called actors these days? How about The Thespian?

[Horsebox]

Nothing wrong with keeping it as The Uplands.

Not at all keen on The Villager (is that supposed to be ironic?) or The Actress (sounds awkward and clumsy).

[Brendan]

Well the thing with the Villager is that it is quite clearly not in the Village. It?s slap bang in the middle of the Village?s pretentious upstart of a neighbour with ideas above its station. People will just think it?s naff.

Do keep up Jah..."Actress" goes with "Bishop" d'yer see? :) My tongue was in my cheek of course....I am sure Scott knows what he is doing! All this free publicity on the EDF before it even opens eh? gold dust! B)

[karter]

I was aware of that Simon. I was.... oh never mind.

[Keef]

maybe it should be called 'the northern cross'.

And play a load of Black Sabbath (although that was a southern cross, but never mind).

[SimonM]

I was aware of that Simon. I was.... oh never mind.

Of course you were deah boy!B)

How about the "Cross northerner" - would be my natural watering hole....

I'm aware of both of these connections, however none mentioned East Dulwich in their books and neither based any suburd they wrote about on ED,as did Wodehouse.

If it has to change name then it surely must be the Wodehouse, all else is applesauce, if not flummery.

There, I've said it.

Edited, bcause frankly one made something of a bish on a couple of words.

I mean one doesn't want to look a complete ass when one is attempting to makea serioud point.

One's not a total chump after all. Despite what Oofy Prosser might be spreading round.

[SimonM]

...but a pub called the "Dulwich Wodehouse" is only going to cause confusion! B)

The name should be the Wodehouse, no Dulwich prefix. That's all.

The only confusionn will lie with the easily confused dopey-headed c*nt community.

It's a small community, but massively confused and spectaculary dopey-headed.

As for c*ntishness, don't get me started. No, really, don't.

Oh go on, you know you want to really....B)

[Catalyst]

The Villager? What sort of div name is that?

Christ almighty.

[scott]

Div? What sort of word is that ?

[reds]

Is there a planned opening date for the pub?

[Steph]

Scott as a mother of a young child and soon to be new aby who lives opposite the pub I would be interested to know what the opening hours will be and also what time people will be allowed outside until? Will it be a family pub like the Herne or more in keeping with the Bishop???

'The Div'

Job done.

Hello Steph,

I won't be changing any opening hours (currently midnight sun-thurs and 1am Fri & Sat). The license states that the outside areas have to be emptied by 11 p.m.

The plan is to be more Florence than Bishop, but completely different to both (if that makes any sense). I have never received one noise complaint about The Bishop in the 5 years I've had it (if that allays any fears).

Reds, planning and licensing permitting, work should start at the end of April and take about 4 weeks.

[Steph]

Thats grand...thanks for the info.

[woodycheese]

My recommendations would be 'The Scott Arms' or 'The Royal Mail' as most of the local postmen seem to like hanging out in there...!
